"We will coordinate state and local services to hook up people with jobs," said Bullard. "We hope to provide job training and relocation." ANN ARBOR Mayor Louis Belcher promised that the city would compile a master list of laid off Sycor employees to give them an opportunity to fill job vacancies in Ann Arbor. "We hope to have several new com- panies coming to Ann. Arbor," said Belcher. "We'll use the Economic Development Commission to see that the new companies get a shot at people displaced at Sycor." ¢ Belcher also declared that the city's Comprehensive Employment Training Act office (CETA) can retrain people to fit skills needed in Ann Arbor. THE MICHIGAN Employment Security Commission, Department of Social Services, labor unions and the Washtenaw County United Way also pleldged to help workers find jobs or give them assistance while they are searching. Although a number of officials and employees stressed the importance of participation by the management of NTSC, no company representatives were present. Local NTSC officials yesterday declined to comment on whether the company would get in- volved with the group. Belcher also said that he had problems communicating with NTSC. Describing his negotiations with com- pany officials, the mayor said, "You might as well be talking to a wall." FRED VEIGEL of the Huron Valley Central Labor Council drew applause from the Sycor employees-in the crowd when he urged the city to take punitive action against NT§C. He said the com- pany "was given a tax break with the understanding that employment would increase. That tax break could be rescinded retroactively if they're not living up to their obligations." But Chuck Hasen of the Michigan Department of Commerce, said the city should make the company aware of fur- ther tax breaks availble in Ann Arbor. "Because of the growth Northern Telecom has had over the years, they may give serious consideration to ex- panding here in the future," he said.
